The term 'KNIGHT's attendant' refers to three different roles in medieval times. A SQUIRE was a young man who served as an apprentice to a KNIGHT, learning the skills of knighthood. A PAGE was a young boy who served as an attendant to a KNIGHT, often performing tasks such as running errands and carrying messages. A VARLET was a servant who performed menial tasks for a KNIGHT, such as cleaning armor and caring for horses. All three roles were essential to a KNIGHT's success in battle.
